Henry Kuttner and Catherine L. Moore
Lewis Padgett was the pseudonym of one of the greatest writing teams in SF history: husband and wife, Henry Kuttner and Catherine L. Moore. Together they were masters of the short story. Their novella "Vintage Season" is one of the most bitter-sweet stories I've ever read. They also wrote a number of hilariously zany short stories about a family mutant hillbillies, and another series about a professor who can only remember his works of genius when he's drunk.
Their novels, at least the ones I've read so far, didn't live up to the standard of their short-form works. I haven't read "Chessboard Planet" yet, but I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for posting it.
